Histral® H and Histral® R
Alloys
Copper-based alloys for mechanically stressed conductors and electrical resistance applications. Material selection depends on strength, conductivity and operating conditions.
Discuss your projectHistral® H · High strength alloys
For conductors with higher mechanical requirements.
- Applications
- Defence, aerospace, medical technology, high-frequency technology, miniaturisation and robotics
- A combination of tensile strength and electrical conductivity.
- Flex life can improve the service life of the end product.
Histral® R · Resistance alloys
For electrical heating and resistance applications.
- Applications
- Seat heating, steering wheel heating, radiator grille heating and other resistance applications
- Material selection to match the required electrical resistance and operating conditions.
Material-specific properties
Depending on the alloy and condition, tensile strengths above 350 N/mm² in soft condition and above 700 N/mm² in hard condition are possible. The overview lists conductivities above 85% IACS or above 70% IACS and temperature resistance up to 400 °C. These values do not apply to every alloy; the material is selected for the specific application.
